GLOMUS CAMP 2022 – Arabic Night in Gellerup

Classical Arabic music in new forms together with Amal Murkus, the duo Voice and Oud and GLOMUS CAMP delegates.

We set the tone with the renowned Palestinian singer and actress Amal Murkus. Together with the Aarhus-based oud player Maher Mahmoud and the American multi-instrumentalist Wanees Zarour, she will take us through the classical Arab musical traditions.

After this, Danish based Bilal Irshed and Bakri Hemmami take over the stage. Together, the two make the duo Voice and Oud, which reinterprets traditional Arabic music through vocals and the stringed instrument the oud. With backgrounds in Palestine and Syria, they present the proud, classical Arab tradition, while putting it in touch with new contexts and sounds that highlight the music’s narrative and image-creating ability. In this way, the duo tells wonderful stories through the tones of the oud and the mwashahat singing, which makes poetry and music merge and become a completely new artistic expression.

At the end of the evening, the talented participants from GLOMUS Camp will play and maybe even start up the dance floor. We offer fair bar prices for everything from soda and beer to a hot glass of Turkish tea, and we invite everyone to take part in the good atmosphere!

Doors open at 7 pm.
(Free entrance for Glomus camp participants.)

The event is a joint venture with the turquoise tent and Glomus Network and is a part of Glomus Camp 2022 in Aarhus.

GLOMUS (Global Music Network) is an ambitious network of proactive music and art academies from around the world. In addition to international camps every two years, the network is also behind continuous exchange of students and teachers and behind several cross-cutting projects, e.g. about capacity building in countries with difficult conditions for art education at a high level.

This year GLOMUS CAMP is located in Aarhus with The Royal Academy of Music, Aarhus/Aalborg and The Danish National School of Performing Arts as primary hosts. In addition, turquoise house hosts several events, and the turquoise tent is a co-host at the Arab night in Gellerup.
